What is I? I am made up of the 5 senses.  I feel, I hear, I see, and I taste.  I am made up from my past my present and my future.  I am a lover, a daughter, and a friend.  these  are all things that make I me.  From my childhood my parents made me into an athlete by pushing me into sports and putting more emphasis on my sports then in school.  My present I now need to be more focussed on school and i dont have sports and now I dont know what to do?  I am confused and I am scared of failing, but not by loosing a game but now by ruining my future because Ive never had to learn.  As an athlete my teachers carried me through school.

1.  I have learned through my sense of sight that people see things and automatically jump to conclusions about that thing.  Things are always not what they appear and from this class I learned not to do that.  People in this class are not what they appear.  I am not what I appear.  People should remember that.  You can not look at someone and see their story.

2.  My sense of smell says a lot about me.  I can smell exact smells form memory, or a smell triggers a memory.  During our taste test, I tasted a trix.  But I smelled that trix before I tasted it and it brought me back to when I was in gymnastics and the 3 hours I spent in a car everyday for nearly 12 years of my life.

3.  My least favorite taste is morning breathe (DISGUSTING) I even did research on it for my taste paper and found out it is all about bacteria and left over food how gross!  My favorite taste is the taste of my moms cooking.  I miss the food she cooks, and I know she cooks for us out of love.

4.  Being touched for me, means you crossed someones mined for a second.  Even if you dropped a dollar out of your pocket and someone runs you down and taps you on your shoulder to return it then you crossed their mind for a second.  Touch is a sense that shows many emotions.  You show someone you care or love them, hate them by a slap or punch.  You feel through the sense of touch, and these feelings go alot deeper than just touching. 

5.  Right now I hear everyone typing frantically, writing their very own thoughts and feelings about the questions Marlen is asking us.  They all are doing the same thing, typing and listening and thinking about what I may be doing or maybe about what I may be writing.  In this moment no one is thinking about whats for dinner, they are only listening and focusing on all of us.  In a way this is bringing us closer together without anyone relizing it.  We are lost in our own little worlds.

6.  Im suprised at how open I have become in this class.  Normally I would make sure to not even touch upon certain things in my life.  I don’t even tell my closest friends or family about how I feel about things.  I am a very enclosed person and I am happy Ive had the oppurtunity to be in this class and let others read my writing for a change.  Like anyone I have my secrets and although I didn’t openly tell them… in my writing I mentioned my biggest secret a few times.  It made me feel better, no one likes to keep secrets for years.

7.  Im sure there will be blogging one year from now.  I know I will be blogging.  I want to make my own blog page and keep it like an online journal.  I don’t trust people like I should or open up alot and I think blogs would be a great outlet for me.  I hope blogs are continued to be used in this class and maybe even used in other classes.  I also hope that people who don’t know about blogs like I didn’t when I entered this class learn about them and use them.

8.  If I was forced to lose a sense I would want to lose the sense of sight.  Sight is an important sense and I understand that but, I think if I lost my eyesight I would understand life a lot better and be a better person over all.  I wouldn’t jump to conclusions and all my other senses wouyld be put to more use.  I could write deeper and maybe more touching things.

9.  I am a girl who wants to be understood.  I want to find someone that I can trust.
